The Pointe Coupee Slave Conspiracy
The testimonies and the number of persons involved in this conspiracy are so complex that a complete version of the interweb of connections between all of the stories and the places and persons involved would be a much larger project than is possible in this platform. Our purpose in this engagement is to display for the casual but interested observer the complexities of this conspiracy in the examples of three testimonies, the brutality and magnitude of the convictions in an interconnected web of names and the convictions those persons suffered, and a poem that lashes out in violence against the very document that justified the outcome of the court proceedings.
